Things I Would Be Posting About If I Had Any Time

- Jules Verne, and how I always thought Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea was a measure of depth, and not, um, the distance which the Nautilus travels while under the sea. Also how the book should really be titled The Misanthropic Genius's Guide to Huntin' and Fishin'. (A Journey to the Center of the Earth is next, and it's already quite a bit funnier than Nemo & Co.)

- The first season of the new "Doctor Who," because grahamsleight told me it got better after episode 5 or so, and it really did.

- Thoughts I've been having about revision, which are probably wholly unoriginal and mostly an excuse to keep me from actually revising.

- My first book report for the Africa Reading Challenge, for Sundiata, which is awesome in every way except for the part where it doesn't really have an ending, except that the reasons it does not have an ending are also awesome.

- Something whiny about the terrible ordeal of having a book come out that will make you despise me, followed by a silly poll to win back your love.

I will probably post about all of these things soon, but not today. In the meantime I give you an elephant retirement home.
